I'm pretty sure the card will have 10-20% better performance in 2-3 months with newer drivers and the price will drop by 10-20% as usually after a few months. That is... if you can actually find one in stores

Other than that I really enjoyed the crossfire/SLi review with the 7970 680 and Titan, as it clearly showed me it is not worth the money due to poor performance in most games.

The only good thing about Titan is that you get a 30% performance gain for the same TDP.

to be fair it sores better at higher resolution, it is clearly geared toward future high res screens, but still that price... -.-

it would be interesting to see it against three HD7950 since the complessive price is around the same!

Well there is this simultaneous review that show 1, 2 and 3 card setups for gtx680, 7970 and Titan. The crossfire setup results are quite underwelming for the the majority of the games. So the 7950 in tri-fire would naturally be abit worst than the ones you can see with the 7970's

I think it will be a pretty unfair comparison, firstly the 7950 trifire will only work in certain setups. The motherboard you need to get the 7950 trifire setup will probably skew the cost against the Titan, although you could argue that cost is no longer much of an issue at this price.

Meh. Stupidly overpriced card. Only for people who want to buy multiples of it or who REALLY don't want to go multi-GPU.

I'm seeing any pair of cards already available from the 7950/670 up as being significantly faster and cheaper at the same time. I understand there are multi-GPU issues that single GPU doesn't have, but I can't see it being worth both a substantial price hike and performance loss at the same time.

Smoking powerful for "this gen". I wonder how PS4 is going to react to its own relative impotency when it goes on sale at the end of the year.

Pretty sure that when most people who buy a gaming console they don't ask themselves "well, before I buy it, what are the specs?"

I think Sony is going to make a lot of money and AMD is going to get a share of that. The Titan is a nice product, don't get me wrong, but it isn't where the consumers are. They're pandering to enthusiasts and the money to be made is in mainstream and mobile devices.

nVidia might have the fastest single GPU card now, but it's the worst performance for the money you pay for it which puts it in the same class as Intel Extreme edition CPUs. If nVidia was serious about competing with AMD they need to drop the price point on their cards across the board. AMD's weakened financial state is what is driving their prices down and if nVidia could undercut AMD for just one line-up I bet it could be a life-threatening blow to AMD imho. I doubt that will happen though. I don't think nVidia has the overhead to undercut AMD.

Impressive for a single CPU card for sure, but the 690 beats and isn't too far behind in power consumption, unless I'm missing something.

$1000? Wonder what these will sell for on eBay in 4 years, lol

...but you wouldn't play a game at 1080p with this thing, so you need a $1,000 USD monitor (or 3 1080p displays,) to make it worth while. Otherwise it's wasted money because there are a lot of other video cards that can play games great on 1080p displays.

So all in all, the video card might cost $1,000 USD, but imagine what the platform it's going to be put into will look like, even more so with two of them... then imagine the total cost.

or 30% when you are looking at the relevant resolution. However, this product is truly peerless and as such a completely outrageous price can be attached to it. Why would humans spend so much money buying blocks of shiny carbon?
